Instructions
Step 1
The better the feta cheese, the better it is stored. It is important that it does not release a lot of moisture. The packaging should not be swollen, sticky crumbs are unacceptable in it. If the cheese began to crumble or dry out at the edges, this means that the cheese was made a long time ago, that is, the shelf life of the product ends, and it has already managed to lose some of the nutrients.
Step 2
Better to buy feta cheese in a bag with brine, in which it was "ripened". This is an additional way to protect against premature spoilage. In this case, feta cheese with brine in a tightly closed glass jar can remain edible for a couple of weeks. If it is not possible to buy feta cheese in the "original" whey liquid, prepare slightly salted water for storing this cheese or sprinkle it with salt.
Step 3
You can put feta cheese in a vacuum plastic container. Any deep dish will do as long as the cheese is wrapped in a wet cloth or aluminum foil. You can also put a sugar cube next to the cheese.
Step 4
Before slicing the feta cheese, immerse the knife in hot water for a few minutes. This way the feta cheese will not crumble and will stay better.
Step 5
Before eating, very salted feta cheese should be poured with boiling water or previously held in boiled water or milk for several hours.
